This Was Our 3rd Baby and Our First Home Birth. This Pregnancy was an Unexpected Surprise, but a pleasant one! Because I had a Tragic miscarriage between my 1st and 2nd baby, who was also an Unexpected Surprise, I was terrified this pregnancy too would end in miscarriage. So from very early on I prayed for and talked to the baby, "Please stay Sticky, Please Stick Baby" and the nickname stuck throughout the pregnancy. What a Blessing this Little Rainbow proved to be! We learned so much from this child coming into our lives!

We decided to have a Home Birth after our first two births in a Hospital were terrible experiences! And we also decided not to find out the gender because we already had a boy and a girl. We discussed names for both Genders but called our baby, "Sticky" up until we peeked between the legs!
